Hear that whistle, there goes the bell
That means we're on our way
All aboard, I'm feelin' swell
This is my happy day
Paddle wheel, you're going, mighty slow
That's why I keep shouting "Let 'er go."
Roll on, you Mississippi, roll on
Come on you lazy steamer, move on
Clear the river, here we come
Watch her smoke boy hear that engine hum in' lawdy
Take a look at that shore
Soon I'll be with the folks I adore
There's a spot 'round that bend,
That's my home, my journey's end
Come on you Old Man River, come on
Roll on, you Mississippi roll on
New Orleans, hello!
Bye-bye New Orleans!
Get along
Goin' strong
Baton Rouge
Hold on!
I gotta holler so they'll hear it miles around
I want the world to know I'm Memphis bound
Take a look at that shore
Soon I'll be with the folks I adore
There's a spot 'round that bend
That's my home, my journey's end
Come on you Old Man River, come on
Roll on, you Mississippi roll on
